Ok ok ok ok!
I admit this actually happened last week.
Still though. It was probably influenced by Trump anyway. His magic seems to be contagious right now.
But yeah, I am a huge Zyn fan (and some of the other packets are also good).
Nicotine is always good. And with these packets, not even the “get your smoke out of my face” nags can complain.
People don’t even know you’re using it.
I mean, they know you are super happy and energized, so in that sense they are aware.
But they can’t nag you like they do when you smoke.
AP:
Federal health officials on Thursday backed the public health benefits of nicotine pouches, authorizing Philip Morris International’s Zyn to help adult smokers cut back or quit cigarettes.
The Food and Drug Administration OK’d 10 Zyn flavors, including coffee, mint and menthol. It’s the first time regulators have authorized sales of nicotine pouches, which are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. tobacco market.
The pouches have been available for more than a decade as FDA reviewed company data intended to show the products can serve as an alternative to cigarettes and other traditional tobacco products. The decision doesn’t mean that Zyn is safe, just less harmful than older alternatives.
To remain on the market, companies generally must show that their products will reduce disease among adult tobacco users without attracting teens and adolescents.
For decades, tobacco companies have tried to develop alternative products to replace dwindling sales of cigarettes, as smoking levels in the U.S. and worldwide continue to fall. E-cigarettes became popular more than a decade ago, but faced a backlash after they triggered a multiyear spike in underage vaping.
Who cares about any of this?
I don’t use Zyn to quit cigarettes. I don’t even really smoke. I use the packets because they’re energizing.
You know who else uses them?
The Secretary of Health and Human Services!
The mommy government thing is just tiresome.
Let people enjoy things y’all folks!
In recent months, antismoking groups have warned that nicotine pouches could follow a similar path, pointing to videos of young people popping Zyn and other pouches that have racked up millions of views on social media platforms. Following Thursday’s announcement, advocates quickly criticized the FDA for permitting sales of flavors like citrus, peppermint and wintergreen.
Yeah the peppermint is HORRIBLE!!! Do not buy or place in the jaw! Evil will ensue!
In late January, Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, of New York, called on regulators to investigate Zyn, citing its appeal to teens. Several House Republicans then warned constituents that “Big Brother” intended to “ban nicotine.” Tucker Carlson and other conservative commentators are among the public figures who have embraced Zyn.
Big Brother does indeed plan to ban nicotine along with everything else fun and pleasant and enjoyable and life-giving on earth, from video games to alcohol to nicotine to science fiction and even heterosexuality (a misnomer coined by psychopathic sadists).
But Tucker gets it. He has always defended and promoted nicotine. It is good for you.
Where’s the clip?
Tucker says: “THERE IS NO EVIDENCE NICOTINE IS A CARCINOGEN. IT’S NOT.” He also says, “Yeah it boosts mental acuity and testosterone. What’s the problem?”
